Chapter 19
I need to focus my energy on acting.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Is she your girlfriend?" Li Yitong asked when Li Han remained silent.
"Yes, that's right." Li Han nodded.
"Heh, you're living together?" Li Yitong smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes, looking incredibly cute.
"Uh..." Li Han smiled.
"You're living together... wait, where did you get the money to rent a place?" Li Yitong exclaimed as if a blind person had discovered a crucial point.
"How much is your monthly living expenses? Everything is expensive in Shanghai. Where do you get the money? It must be several thousand a month."
"More or less, I..." Li Han said.
"Wait a minute, what does your girlfriend do? Is she a rich second-generation? Is she your classmate? Or... Li Han, let me tell you, you're not allowed to do any of those shady things..." Li Yitong interrupted him.
"Oh dear, sis!" Li Han said helplessly.
"This is money I earned myself."
"You earned it yourself? How did you earn it?" Li Yitong was even more skeptical. How old are you?
"Playing with stocks..." Li Han made up.
"Stop messing around. I know you too well. With your limited intelligence, you can't even play the stock market or understand the lottery." Li Yitong smiled with narrowed eyes, launching into a merciless mockery of her younger brother.
"Anyway, this money is money I earned legitimately," Li Han said. The money given by the system was definitely money he earned legitimately.
System: "Hmm... how can it not count?"
"Why are you calling me? Aren't you filming?" Li Han said.
"You talk about me like I'm a big star, with film offers coming in every day. I haven't contacted you in a while, so I wanted to ask how things are going at the Shanghai Theatre Academy," Li Yitong couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm fine here, sis..." Li Han had something he wanted to say to Li Yitong.
"Hmm?" Li Yitong responded.
"...It's nothing, we can meet up sometime." Li Han licked his lips.
"Okay." Li Yitong smiled, her eyes narrowed.
After chatting for a while longer, Li Han hung up the phone.
He changed his clothes and came out. Xiao Tian was still sitting on the sofa looking at her phone. When she saw Li Han come out, she looked up at him and blinked her big eyes.
"Let's go, Xiaotian," Li Han said with a smile.
Seeing this, Tian Xiwei nodded and got up, and the two went out together.
On their way to school, the two checked Tian Xiwei's two videos again. The first video now had seven million likes, and Tian Xiwei's own account had more than three million followers.
The second video garnered two million likes in one night, not to mention the comments, shares, and saves.
Moreover, many people in the comments and private messages hoped that she could release the entire song she sang directly.
"In the past few days, quite a few influencer guilds have contacted me, either through private messages on Douyin or by adding me on WeChat," Tian Xiwei said to Li Han, looking up.
"Ignore it," Li Han said directly.
"These so-called influencer guilds and companies can't help you at all. Besides, you're an actor, why are you trying to become an influencer? Douyin is just a stepping stone to fame." He had learned about these so-called influencer companies in his previous life, and the employees inside were no different from scammers.
"Mmm." Tian Xiwei nodded her little head.
"This first video has already reached seven million views, and Xiaotian's account has three million followers. Why haven't I received the first task reward yet?" Li Han used his mind to access the system and take a look.
Upon arriving at the school's teaching building, Li Han and Tian Xiwei walked together into the classroom. There were already quite a few people in the classroom, including their roommates.
Tian Xiwei's roommates looked at Tian Xiwei following behind Li Han and exchanged glances.
Tian Xiwei looked at her roommates and gave them a polite smile. Moving out was fine, but there was no need to make things awkward.
Xiao Lu looked at Tian Xiwei, about to say something, when she saw Tian Xiwei and Li Han sitting together.
"In the second video, quite a few people asked me to sing the whole song," Tian Xiwei said to Li Han.
"Write down the rest of the lyrics."
"This..." Li Han hesitated.
"We'll see, I'll take a look later." What were the rest of the lyrics again?
During the break, some female classmates came over to Xiaotian and surrounded her, including Tian Xiwei's roommate.
"Xiaotian, I saw the video you posted last night, it's so cute."
"I saw it too. Did you write that song yourself?"
"Those cat ears are so cute! Xiaotian, you're amazing, you must have millions of fans by now."
"Xiaotian, your first video has surpassed ten million likes, right?"
"Haha, no, no." Seeing her classmates surrounding her and talking, Tian Xiwei couldn't help but cover her mouth with one hand and smile with her eyes narrowed. Although she was very happy inside, she still waved her hand modestly.
"Xiao Tian, that song was also written for you by Li Han, right?" Xiao Lu suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei turned her head to look at Li Han, who was chatting with several male classmates not far away.
"Ah..." she nodded.
"He can do this too?" Upon hearing this, the others all turned to look at Li Han.
Seeing everyone staring at Li Han, Tian Xiwei frowned slightly, glanced at Xiao Lu with her bright eyes, and pursed her somewhat thin lips.
"Xiaotian." At that moment, Zhang Yaqin came over with her phone.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei looked up.
"Your homeroom teacher wants to see you," Zhang Yaqin said, waving her phone.
"Looking for me?" Tian Xiwei blinked her big eyes. Their class teacher was named Luo Ren, an excellent teacher at the Shanghai Theatre Academy who was proficient in all aspects of voice, stage presence, and acting.
"Okay." Tian Xiwei stood up, glanced at Li Han, thought for a moment and decided that there was no need to tell Li Han, she could just go by herself.
Li Han was still chatting with the others when he turned around and saw that Tian Xiwei was gone. Had she gone out to play?
When Li Han came to his senses, he saw Tian Xiwei come in. Tian Xiwei stood at the door and waved to Li Han.
Seeing this, Li Han got up and walked over.
"What's wrong, Xiwei?" Li Han came up to Tian Xiwei and looked at her in confusion. At this moment, Tian Xiwei was expressionless, her big eyes blinking.
Tian Xiwei pouted and turned to walk out. Li Han followed her.
"Teacher Luo is looking for me." Tian Xiwei put her hands behind her back, raised her head and shook it, her little feet in sneakers gently kicking back and forth, her body swaying slowly as she walked, her little mouth pouting.
"What do you want?" Li Han asked curiously.
"Teacher Luo told me that I am a performing arts student and will be an actor in the future. It's okay to play around with those short video platforms, but don't put too much energy into them," Tian Xiwei said with a sigh.
